All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface InterpretableLocationReference
This interface is used to point to a generic element within the simulated world. The element might be characterized by multiple model elements, as e.g. the operation of a component instance (assembly) is identified by the Assembly Context as well as the Signature of the Operation Interface. We use this reference to inform listeners about events occurring during simulation.

  • Method Details

    • isLocationIdentifiedBy

      boolean isLocationIdentifiedBy(EntityReference<?>... entityReferences)
      Checks whether the referenced location is represented by the union of the provided references.
      Returns:
      true, if the location is the same

    • getLocationIdentifier

      String getLocationIdentifier()
      Provides an identifier, which is derived based on all of the representing entities. The identifier can be used as a lookup key for storing related elements is hash map like data structs.
      Returns:
      a stable identifier, uniquely determined based on the representing elements.
